+### 🔧 OpenAI Compatible (LM Studio & Others)
+**Best for**: Using any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint, including LM Studio
+
+**Environment Setup**
+```bash
+export OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:1234/v1
+# Optional - only if your endpoint requires authentication
+export OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_KEY=your_key_here
+```
+
+**Common Use Cases**
+- **LM Studio**: Run models locally with a familiar UI
+- **Text Generation WebUI**: Alternative local inference
+- **Custom Endpoints**: Any OpenAI-compatible API
+
+**Strengths**
+- Use any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
+- Perfect for LM Studio users
+- Flexibility in model deployment
+- Works with local and remote endpoints
+
+**Considerations**
+- Performance depends on your hardware (for local)
+- Model availability varies by endpoint
+- Some endpoints may not support all features
+
 ## 🧠 Reasoning Models
 
 Open Notebook fully supports **reasoning models** that show their transparent thinking process. These models output their internal reasoning within `<think>` tags, which Open Notebook automatically handles.
